Are students pre-programmed to live with inequality? | Education | The Guardian

After showing the films it struck me just how different are the worlds of these young people. How, for most of them, in their groups, they are likely to be near the average, not the wealthiest in their class, nor the poorest. But how, as our education system has become more divided, as people further segregate by area and hence by school, divide further still where selective entrance is allowed and further still where school fees are soaring, it becomes harder for students to know what is normal, and easier to feel aggrieved, rather than realising that they are all walking into the same society, into the same mess which, like their school and university choice, was largely not of their making.
